Blog Caroling!

Luckily I'm keeping up on my Google Reader (for the most part anyway) and noticed that Blog Caroling is fast approaching! I loved sharing my favorite Christmas carol last year and was very excited when I came across the first Blog caroling post which just happened to be Bill West's who was singing "I Saw Three Ships". Oddly enough I'd heard the song before, but didn't know the words except for "On Christmas Day in the morning". Thanks for sharing, Bill, and thank you footnoteMaven for the caroling!

After some consideration I finally decided on a song for this year. When I was a little girl, my mom used to play Brenda Lee's Christmas album, "Jingle Bell Rock". I loved those songs, but there was one that always gave me chills and brought a tear to my eye (almost every time...even today). I've played this album for my kids as well, and my oldest son Benjamin loves this song too. It's called, "The Angel and the Little Blue Bell."

Now let me see...no hot toddy for me tonight, but my cup of tea is still warm.

Christmas music is timeless. I haven't really seen any new Christmas music I like apart from the Celtic Women and some of our jazz artists today. But I've always been a bit different with music. Everything from Mozart to Eminem! :)
